It's not a long segment - about 5 to 10 minutes every week - about everything that is happening in the world of technology and digital media. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/chom977">SoundCloud</a>, if you're interested in hearing more of me blathering away. I'm really excited about this opportunity, because this is the radio station that I grew up on listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the <a href="http://www.chom.com/MorningsRock.aspx">Mornings Rock with Terry and Heather B.</a> morning show. The segment is called, <a href="http://www.chom.com/control-alt-delete/2013/09/09/mitch-joel-september-9">CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel</a>.</p>
<p><strong>This week we discussed:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Live Long And Prosper, everyone.</li>
<li>The Internet went insane last week. It goes insane quite often, but last week was a real exception. <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/catesish/help-am-i-going-insane-its-definitely-blue#.isWM8Yzjg">What color was that dress?</a> Blue and black? White and gold? Many experts weighed in. It got a lot of mass media attention (like, right now). But, for me, it spoke to two interesting (and divergent) results of moments like this. One, when the intelligentsia steps in and we get these awesome, high brow, pieces about how nothing really has any color. Two, how wild our world is, when things like this become global and viral memes. We are a peculiar people.</li>
<li>Big news for people who use the Internet (that, would be all of us!). In the US, <a href="http://www.cnet.com/news/net-neutrality-a-reality-fcc-votes-to-bring-internet-under-utility-style-rules/">the net neutrality law (that had been talked about for years) has come to pass</a>. The Internet will now be regulated as a public utility. The <a href="http://www.fcc.gov/">FCC</a> (Federal Communications Commission) has adopted net neutrality regulations. What does it mean? The new rules prohibit broadband providers from blocking or slowing down traffic on wired and wireless networks. They also ban Internet service providers from offering paid priority services that could allow them to charge content companies, such as Netflix, fees to access Internet "fast lanes" to reach customers more quickly when networks are congested. It also means that may, in fact, start seeing the Internet as a human right (which is the law in certain European countries).</li>
<li>Francois wants a great translation app. We talked about this last week. <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-translate/id414706506?mt=8">Google Translate app</a>. </li>
<li>App of the week: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nat-geo-view/id958610015?mt=8">Nat Geo View</a>.</li>

<p>If ever there was a book written about what marketing "could" be, it would be <a href="http://cluetrain.com/">The Cluetrain Manifesto</a>. The book was published in 2000 and presented 95 theses organized around the Internet, culture, society and business (it also happens to be one of my my most loved books). Many point to this book as the genesis of social media. Many recite the infamous <em>"markets are conversations"</em> line from it. The truth is that many don't really understand the depth, value and insights that the book delivers. It's amazing to look at the content of this book - in 2015 - to see how much of it has come true... and how far we still have to go. It's something that two out of the four original authors have been thinking a lot about. <a href="http://www.searls.com/">Doc Searls</a> and <a href="http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/">David Weinberger</a> put together <a href="http://cluetrain.com/newclues/">New Clues</a>. It is 121 more theses authored for 2015. While, Rick Levine and <a href="http://mysticbourgeoisie.blogspot.ca/2005/07/author-bio.html">Chris Locke</a> opted out of taking another kick at the can, Searls and Weinberger provide much more fodder for all of us to think about. Technology has - without question - moved at an exponential pace, so it's interesting to see what these two think needs to happen next. Enjoy the conversation... </p><p><strong>You can grab the latest episode of Six Pixels of Separation here (or feel free to <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=157616278">subscribe via iTunes</a>)</strong>: <a href="http://www.twistimage.com/podcast/archives/spos-451---new-clues-with-doc-searls-and-david-weinberger/">Six Pixels of Separation - The Mirum Podcast #451</a>.</p>

<p>My friends: <a href="http://www.rednod.com/">Alistair Croll</a> (<a href="http://www.bitcurrent.com/" target="_blank">BitCurrent</a>, <a href="http://www.yearonelabs.com/">Year One Labs</a>, <a href="http://gigaom.com/" target="_blank">GigaOM</a>, <a href="http://www.human20.com/" target="_blank">Human 2.0</a>, <a href="http://solveforinteresting.com/">Solve For Interesting</a>, the author of <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596155148" target="_blank">Complete Web Monitoring</a>, Managing Bandwidth: Deploying QOS in Enterprise Networks and <a href="http://leananalyticsbook.com/">Lean Analytics</a>), <a href="http://www.hughmcguire.net" target="_blank">Hugh McGuire</a> (<a href="http://pressbooks.com">PressBooks</a>, <a href="http://www.librivox.org">LibriVox</a>, <a href="http://www.iambik.com/">iambik</a> and co-author of <a href="http://book.pressbooks.com/">Book: A Futurist's Manifesto</a>) and I decided that every week the three of us are going to share one link for one another (for a total of six links) that each individual feels the other person "must see".</p>
<p><strong>Check out these six links that we're recommending to one another:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://youtu.be/RkjrbK3DyRM"><strong>When You Are the Adversary - Quinn Norton</strong></a>. <em>"I met <a href="http://quinnnorton.com/">Quinn Norton</a> at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_Camp">Foo Camp</a> a few years ago. She was serving homebrew limoncello (with an <a href="http://aperturelabs.com/">Aperture Labs</a> label) to all comers, and telling stories. But it wasn't until afterwards that I realized just what a fearless storyteller she was, having ventured into thorny topics like <a href="http://occupywallst.org/">Occupy</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz">Aaron Swartz</a>. In this hour-long talk at <a href="https://twitter.com/hopex">HopeX</a>, she speaks about digital privacy--not for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden">Edward Snowden</a>, but for smaller attackers. 'Yes, the big bad guys still matter, but fighting a billion little bad guys probably matters more.' A thoughtful hour on privacy."</em> (Alistair for Hugh).</li>
<li><a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2015/03/science-doubters/achenbach-text"><strong>Why Do Many Reasonable People Doubt Science? - National Geographic</strong></a>. <em>"There's been a huge push-back against vaccine deniers since measles made a reappearance in North America. But, most of the rebuttals have used science to try and change behavior, and that's precisely the wrong approach: it actually makes people dig in more. This <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/">National Geographic</a> piece looks at the roots of unscientific thinking. Like it or not, if you're a scientist and you want to change the world, you have to deal with the messy minds of humans."</em> (Alistair for Mitch).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/feb/23/reading-writing-on-paper-better-for-brain-concentration"><strong>Why reading and writing on paper can be better for your brain - The Guardian</strong></a>. <em>"I'm a digital reader, and while I love a lot about reading ebooks, I've been thinking lately about all the things ebooks do badly. I'm not sure that 'reading on paper' is the necessary answer, but we have a long way to go to design digital ebook reading experiences that accommodate for the weaknesses of screens, while incorporating more of the benefits of digital. Anyway, turns out that paper is better for your noggin."</em> (Hugh for Alistair).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/gallery/2015/feb/19/marginalia-insults-epiphanies/"><strong>Scrawled Insults and Epiphanies - The New York Review of Books</strong></a>. <em>"One of the things that ebooks handle badly is notes readers put in the margins." </em>(Hugh for Mitch).</li>
<li><a href="http://sploid.gizmodo.com/lockheed-martins-new-fusion-reactor-might-change-humani-1646578094/+barrett"><strong>Lockheed Martin's new fusion reactor might change humanity forever - Sploid</strong></a>.<em> "This world of ours will require a lot more power and energy (especially with all of the issues that oil has caused us over the years). We also want life to be a lot more like science fiction, right? Well, this is another one of those fascinating pieces about what some of the world's biggest corporations are doing to plot the future. I don't, necessarily, feel like this is all being done for the good of all... it's obviously being done for capitalist reasons, but it's still interesting to see these bigs problems being tackled. And, we all know that a fusion reactor sounds like the right kind of energy to get me one of them X-Wing fighters!"</em> (Mitch for Alistair).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/leonard-cohens-montreal"><strong>Leonard Cohen's Montreal - The New Yorker</strong></a>. <em>"One of the most iconic figures of our time. One of the most interesting cities in North America. How culture weaves through this person and the city he grew up in... and how it transcended the back alleys of the famed plateau area that inspired him so much. This happened in my backyard. It's just a few blocks from where I am writing this. We're all pretty lucky to live here."</em> (Mitch for Hugh).</li>

<p>I spend a lot of time - in boardrooms and on stages across the world - trying to explain to brands why a digital marketing agency is so fundamentally different from a lot of traditional advertising and media agencies. It can get uncomfortable. There is no doubt that many of these traditional institutions have done a great job, at adding in digital services, hiring the right people, or have attempted to transform their businesses. In a simplistic way, my train of thought is this: while many agencies and companies are doing their best to transform into being more (or fully) digital, this is the kind of work that <a href="http://www.mirumagency.com">Mirum</a> has been doing for the brands that we work with for over fifteen years. So, while traditional agencies try to evolve and transform, we have been what they are trying to become for over a decade. There is a difference. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hughes">Chris Hughes</a> was one of the founders of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mitchjoel">Facebook</a>. He then went on to be an integral component in the online organizing for <a href="https://twitter.com/barackobama">Barack Obama</a>'s 2008 presidential campaign. After that, he purchased the magazine, <a href="http://www.newrepublic.com/">The New Republic</a>. His Silicon Valley approach to the traditional magazine/publishing legacy created a well-documented friction with some of the best journalists in America. Hughes recently discussed the situation on <a href="http://www.charlierose.com/">Charlie Rose</a>. It's a tough watch. On one hand, the evolution to digital is one that Hughes is very capable of leading. On the other hand, it feels like Rose is schooling a second year journalism student on what it means to be a journalist, and in the media. No matter which side you may choose to defend, one thing is for certain: we are not yet through this moment of purgatory. The new entities will continue to disrupt. The traditional entities will claim that they have already migrated, but the truth will be obvious to most.</p>

<p>The term "net neutrality" has been in our zeitgeist for the past few years. Many were not sure when (or if) these changes would become law. It has happened. It is not a completely clear and obvious thing, but it is here. Do you believe that certain people (or companies) are entitled to have faster access to the Internet? Do you believe that if that should take place, it would be fair for some people (or companies) to not be able to get their content/information fast enough (or at all) to an audience? Yes, it's that complex.</p>
<p><strong>The vote has passed.</strong></p>
<p>The Internet will be treated like a utility (must like electricity, etc..). What does all of this really mean? <a href="https://twitter.com/iamjohnoliver">John Oliver</a>'s thirteen minute segment on <a href="http://www.hbo.com/last-week-tonight-with-john-oliver">Last Week Tonight</a> from last June is funny, true and should give you everything you really need to know about net neutrality... and what it means...</p>

It's not a long segment - about 5 to 10 minutes every week - about everything that is happening in the world of technology and digital media. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/chom977">SoundCloud</a>, if you're interested in hearing more of me blathering away. I'm really excited about this opportunity, because this is the radio station that I grew up on listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the <a href="http://www.chom.com/MorningsRock.aspx">Mornings Rock with Terry and Heather B.</a> morning show. The segment is called, <a href="http://www.chom.com/control-alt-delete/2013/09/09/mitch-joel-september-9">CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel</a>.</p>
<p><strong>This week we discussed:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Heather B. is away on vacation.</li>
<li>It seems to be moving from rumour to fact in a quick way. If you were wondering what, exactly, <a href="http://www.apple.com">Apple</a> is going to do for it's next act (after it releases the watch that we're all waiting for)? Would you believe a car? There were a lot of rumours floating around two weeks ago (<a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/apples-titan-car-project-to-challenge-tesla-1423868072">including some</a> from the <a href="http://www.wsj.com">Wall Street Journal</a>), but things got real and tangible last week, that Apple is working on an electric car. It makes perfect sense... especially if most vehicles become driverless in the near-future. So, <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2015/02/19/apple-electric-car-team/">is Apple building a car</a> or are they really just looking to make the applications and user experience for cars?</li>
<li>What can you do in 30 seconds? How about <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2015/01/27/twitter-users-can-now-shoot-edit-and-post-30-second-videos/">shooting videos and uploading them directly</a> on <a href="https://twitter.com/mitchjoel">Twitter</a>. As of last week, when you click on the camera icon next to the field where you can post your tweets, you can now not only take a picture, but shoot video. Many (including me) believe that this is the smartest thing that Twitter has done to build engagement in a very long time. The question - of course - is the same: is it too late? Have <a href="https://instagram.com/mitchjoel/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://vine.co/">Vine</a> and even <a href="https://www.snapchat.com/">Snapchat</a> stolen the mobile/social video thing away from Twitter?</li>
<li>Speaking of Snapchat, the popular online social network that allows you to send images and videos to friends and then have that content dissapear <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-17/snapchat-said-to-seek-up-to-19-billion-value-in-funding-round">is now worth close to $20 billion dollars</a>. The Los Angeles-based company is looking to raise another $500 million, so this would place it in the $16 - $19 billion range. Let's not forget that in 2013, Snapchat's founder (<a href="https://twitter.com/evanspiegel">Evan Spiegel</a> - who was 24 at the time) <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2013/11/13/snapchat-spurned-3-billion-acquisition-offer-from-facebook/">turned down a $3 billion acquisition offer from Facebook</a>. Serious business in images that disappear once the receiver sees them.</li>
<li>App of the week: <a href="https://translate.google.com/">Google Translate</a> (download the app from the Apple or Google store for you mobile device). </li>
</ul>

<p>We live in amazing times. We are both at the frontier of what is coming next and also in the midst of being connected like never before. We're seeing humanity develop, evolve and leverage technology to do amazing things. There are many pessimists, but <a href="https://twitter.com/kotlersteven">Steven Kotler</a> is an optimist... and a fascinating one, at that. Steven Kotler is an American bestselling author, journalist, and entrepreneur. He is probably best known as the co-author (with <a href="http://www.diamandis.com/">Peter Diamandis</a> of the <a href="http://www.xprize.org/">X Prize</a> fame) of <a href="http://www.diamandis.com/abundance/">Abundance</a> and the recently released, <a href="http://www.boldbook.com/">Bold - How To Go Big, Create Wealth and Impact The World</a>. With that, Steven has also written <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rise-Superman-Decoding-Ultimate-Performance/dp/1477800832/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;sr=&amp;qid=">The Rise of Superman</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Small-Furry-Prayer-Rescue-Meaning/dp/B0054U59B6">A Small, Furry Prayer</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/West-Jesus-Surfing-Science-Origins/dp/1596913444">West of Jesus</a>, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Angle-Quickest-Flight-Steven-Kotler/dp/1568581947">The Angle Quickest for Flight</a>. But, this conversation is really about his new book, Bold (also done with Diamandis). It's a fascinating look at why some of the world's most known billionaires are changing the world by doing something more than just making money. The book looks at their entrepreneurial spirit and attempts to decode their success, so that each of us can better understand what it takes to make it big. Enjoy the conversation...</p>

<p><strong>Check out these six links that we're recommending to one another:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/02/what-my-hearing-aid-taught-me-about-the-future-of-wearables/385145/"><strong>What My Hearing Aid Taught Me About the Future of Wearables - The Atlantic</strong></a>. <em>"This week I'm at <a href="http://strataconf.com/">Strata</a>, <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/">O'Reilly</a>'s conference on big data, data science, and ultimately, deciding better. The amount of machine data that we're making as a species is astonishing -- it's like we realized we can instrument everything online, and now we're furiously making everything else measurable. Some people have been wearing digital devices for far longer, though, and we can learn lots from them."</em> (Alistair for Hugh).</li>
<li><a href="http://mag.e-180.com/en/2015/02/the-experience-of-resonance-how-to-make-a-conversation-vibrant/"><strong>The Experience of Resonance - How To Create Vibrant Conversations - E-180</strong></a>. <em>"A surprisingly good piece on what makes conversations -- the ones where you feel like you really connect -- work."</em> (Alistair for Mitch).</li>
<li><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/2knx3e/architects_i_work_for_just_gave_the_best/"><strong>Architects I work for just gave the best reactions I've ever seen in person - Reddit</strong></a>. <em>"Architect intern feeds 3D model into virtual reality glasses, blows away everyone."</em> (Hugh for Alistair).</li>

<li><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/02/23/shape-things-come"><strong>The Shape of Things To Come - The New Yorker</strong></a>. <em>"I tend to shy away from articles that have been making the rounds on <a href="https://twitter.com/mitchjoel">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mitchjoelsixpixels">Facebook</a>. This is one of them. It's a massive read (close to 17,000 words) on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ive">Sir Jonathan Ive</a> from <a href="http://www.apple.com">Apple</a>. It's a pretty incredible read about design, lifestyle, success and what the future holds for Apple (a trillion dollar company, the world's largest watch company and a luxury brand). I'm actually sharing it here - for you - because I have a feeling that it got shared by a lot more people than those that actually took the time to read it... and think about it. It's worth it."</em> (Mitch for Alistair).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.farnamstreetblog.com/2014/02/roosevelt-rules-for-reading/"><strong>Teddy Roosevelt's 10 Rules For Reading - Farnam Street</strong></a>. <em>"There are lots of articles online about how to write. There are lots of articles online about how to present. What about some great articles on how to read? We skim. We glance. We share. We read bits in busy places. That's not real reading (right, Hugh?). I think reading is quickly become a long lost art form. Here's what <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt">Teddy Roosevelt</a> feels about it. I agree with his wisdom. And, while I'm at it, <a href="http://www.farnamstreetblog.com/">Farnam Street</a> is an amazing newsletter to sign up for."</em> (Mitch for Hugh).</li>

<p>Last May, <a href="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/winners-and-losers-in-the-digital-age/">I introduced you</a> to <a href="https://twitter.com/profgalloway">Scott Galloway</a>. Galloway has a think tank called <a href="http://www.l2inc.com/">L2</a> and is also a marketing professor at <a href="http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/faculty/bio/scott-galloway">NYU Stern</a>. He is becoming more widely known for his ability to captivate an audience with data (twinkled with his own perspective) about what is happening in the world of digital media. At the <a href="http://dld-conference.com/">DLD conference</a> this year, Galloway presented a fifteen minute blast of data titled, <a href="http://youtu.be/XCvwCcEP74Q">The Four Horsemen - Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google</a>. It follows in his previous presentation styles of declaring who the winners and losers will be in digital. Galloway admits that he can (and is often) wrong, but his points seem super-salient, and they are coupled with super-interesting data.</p>
<p><strong>What is the digital world really like?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a> needs physical spaces to become a dominant retailer, otherwise they will suffer. </li>
<li><a href="http://www.macys.com">Macy's</a> could be a huge winner (if they execute intelligently/quickly on their digital strategy).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.apple.com">Apple</a> will be a trillion dollar luxury brand, and the pending release of their watch will make them the number one watch company in the world.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mitchjoelsixpixels">Facebook</a> is the Internet and Facebook is social media (don't believe the noise that young people don't use it).</li>
<li><a href="https://instagram.com/mitchjoel/">Instagram</a> was an amazing acquisition for Facebook.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.tumblr.com">Tumblr</a> is a disaster for <a href="https://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Intrigued? I was. Want more? <a href="http://youtu.be/XCvwCcEP74Q">Here you go</a>...</strong></p>

<p>Over the years, I have watched many super-creative people with amazing taste quit. They didn't push through. They didn't keep at it. For as many great bloggers that I follow today, I have a huge list of people who were stunningly great at it, but they quit. They ran out of juice. No more steam left in the engine. Podcasting too. I've been podcasting for a long while (every week), and so many of the shows that I used to love (and could not wait to hear) have ceased to exist. Here is a powerful message from the one and only, <a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/contributors/ira-glass">Ira Glass</a> (the man behind <a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org">This American Life</a>). He is a storyteller and creative force that we should all be paying more attention to. As someone who writes, I often grapple with the notion that what I am working on <em>"is not quite good enough... yet."</em> It's nice to know that this feeling of constant self-judging may, in fact, be pushing me in the right creative direction. I'm glad that I didn't quit. I hope you don't quit too.</p>
<p><strong>He is <a href="http://youtu.be/PbC4gqZGPSY">a two-minute thought from Ira Glass</a> about where you will find your most creative output...</strong></p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PbC4gqZGPSY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><em>(hat-tip to <a href="http://womenonthefence.com/">Erica Diamond</a> for the find and for sharing it).</em></p>
<p><strong>But wait, there's more!</strong></p>
<p>If you're really into that two-minute tirade of creative inspiration, I will highly recommend that you watch this <em>"in conversation" </em>session with Ira Glass from a <a href="http://youtu.be/R2y8f_8teVc">talk he did at Google</a> back in 2013. It's over an hour, but it will inspire as well. Promise.</p>

It's not a long segment - about 5 to 10 minutes every week - about everything that is happening in the world of technology and digital media. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/chom977">SoundCloud</a>, if you're interested in hearing more of me blathering away. I'm really excited about this opportunity, because this is the radio station that I grew up on listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the <a href="http://www.chom.com/MorningsRock.aspx">Mornings Rock with Terry and Heather B.</a> morning show. The segment is called, <a href="http://www.chom.com/control-alt-delete/2013/09/09/mitch-joel-september-9">CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel</a>.</p>
<p><strong>This week we discussed:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>What's with this no "Family Day" in Quebec? Not fair! Still, please don't move away from Montreal because of it :)</li>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/carr2n">David Carr</a> passed away last week. You may not know him, but you should. Carr had a killer column in <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/">The New York Times</a> called, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/column/the-media-equation">The Media Equation</a>. There are just a few writers who get me going like David Carr did. He was one of the best. He was 58. He collapsed in The New York Times' newsroom. He, literally, died doing what he loved best. Still, I found myself trolling his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mitchjoel">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/mitchjoel">Twitter</a> newsfeeds, and seeing things he had posted only a few short minutes before he died. It was eerie... and it reminded me of this idea of a digital will... still, those tweets and posts are the last we see from him. <a href="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/what-you-dont-know-about-david-carr/-">I will miss him and his words</a>. </li>
<li>On that subject, where does your Facebook page go when you die? Too morbid for a Monday morning? Still, think about it: if something does happen to you, what happens to all of that content, and can you create some kind of "digital will"? Not everyone is going to entrust someone with their passwords, but Facebook recently added in a function called, <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/2883025/facebook-introduces-legacy-contacts-to-manage-your-account-when-you-die.html-">Legacy Contact</a>, that allows this virtual next of kin to change the deceased user's profile picture, pin a memorial letter to the top of the profile, and respond to friend requests. The legacy contact can also download an archive of photos and posts. The functionality is currently only available in the US, so you may want to consider some kind of digital will, if you live in somewhere else in the world. </li>
<li>Everyone's favorite online social network of the day, <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/thekindproject/all-things-mitch-joel/">Pinterest</a>, is now looking to flex its muscles and figure out how to make some serious cash. This is coming <a href="http://recode.net/2015/02/12/pinterest-is-working-on-a-plan-to-introduce-a-buy-button-as-soon-as-this-year/">in the form of a "buy" button</a> (which makes perfect sense). The picture-based digital scrapbooking site will make a killing if this is done well. Why not be able to both "pin" and "buy" without ever having to leave the site? Rumours abound that this buy button could happen any time in the next 3 months. Get those <a href="http://www.paypal.com">PayPal</a> accounts in order! </li>
<li>App of the week: <a href="http://www.boomeranggmail.com/">Boomerang for Gmail</a>.</li>

<p>I'm a total business book nerd. You knew that already. I do my best to read everything (literally). In the past few years, I have been (somewhat) disappointed in the genre. There has not been that many releases which have blown me away (and some of my peers). That being said, when the topic of business books does come up (which is frequent), the two books that always seem to get mentioned are, <a href="http://www.giveandtake.com/#!about-adam-grant/c1re5">Adam Grant</a>'s <a href="http://www.giveandtake.com/">Give And Take</a> (he has agreed to come on the show at some point soon) and <a href="http://www.nirandfar.com/hooked">Hooked</a> by <a href="http://www.nirandfar.com/">Nir Eyal</a>. Eyal believes that there is sweet science in creating products and services that get a consumer "hooked." With a background in the video gaming and advertising businesses, Eyal spent a lot of time thinking about this - exact - topic, where he learned, applied (and often failed) at developing the techniques used to motivate and manipulate users. This isn't about the creepy manipulation, but much more about what Eyal calls, "healthful habits" to grow business. Enjoy the conversation...</p>

<p><strong>Check out these six links that we're recommending to one another:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.messynessychic.com/2015/01/30/the-travelling-troupe-of-giant-marionnettes/"><strong>The Travelling Troupe of Giant Marionnettes - Messy Nessy Chic</strong></a>. <em>"This looks like something from <a href="http://burningman.org/">Burning Man</a> stepped onto the streets of France. Insanely large puppets, and demented makers, create amazing art on a scale that's almost impossible to comprehend."</em> (Alistair for Hugh).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.controllerism.com/the-future-of-the-keyboard-synthesizer"><strong>The Future of the Keyboard Synthesizer - Contollorism</strong></a>. <em>"<a href="http://www.controllerism.com/">Moldover</a> is perhaps the most interesting person thinking about musical interfaces today. He's designed mics and guitars as controllers; he recently posted this video about what some of the founders of <a href="http://www.native-instruments.com/en/">Native Instruments</a> are up to. For centuries, music has meant humans learning a new language and new muscle memories. Now, the computer can meet them part-way, with controllers like <a href="https://www.ableton.com/en/push/">Ableton Push</a> helping out -- showing which notes belong in a scale, quantizing, and so on. Part of it feels like cheating, but cheating the way using <a href="https://www.google.com">Google</a> is cheating on a library. This quick video shows what's coming for tomorrow's artists."</em> (Alistair for Mitch).</li>
<li><a href="http://qz.com/312537/the-secret-to-the-uber-economy-is-wealth-inequality/"><strong>The secret to the Uber economy is wealth inequality - Quartz</strong></a>. <em>"I've never really thought all that romantically about middlemen, but this article made me pause. Middlemen get a bad rap - they may provide some value, but in exchange, they squeeze the little guy, and raise prices on the consumer. One unsung virtue of traditional middlemen, though: little guys could aspire to be middle men. You work in a grocery store long enough, learn the business, open your own corner store, and build a better life. But, as the Uberization of the wold continues apace, that route to improvement of one's lot in life starts evaporating - for certain people anyway. <a href="http://www.uber.com">Uber</a> - and its ilk, such as its grandpa <a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a> - use technology to add huge efficiencies to the middle, which enables them to reduce the cost to consumer, and price out all the other little middlemen. So, instead of thousands of workers and hundreds of middles, we get thousands of workers and one in the middle. Gooberzon. And one thing is for sure: if you drive for Uber, there's no way you'll open your own little Uber one day. This is progress. This is innovation. It's inexorable. So it goes."</em> (Hugh for Alistair).</li>
<li><a href="http://fusion.net/story/45832/to-all-the-young-journalists-asking-for-advice/"><strong>To all the young journalists asking for advice.... - Fusion</strong></a>. <em>"And, if you're in the business of, say, journalism... here's what the Uberization of your profession looks like."</em> (Hugh for Mitch).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/12/30/google-got-it-wrong-the-open-office-trend-is-destroying-the-workplace/"><strong>Google got it wrong. The open-office trend is destroying the workplace. - The Washington Post</strong></a>. <em>"I have a nerd-on for office space. I've got it bad. I actually enjoy spending time in office supply stores. Not kidding. I've spent time watching how office space has evolved over the years, with Silicon Valley being ground zero for innovation. Open spaces... ahh! So modern. So smart. So needed. Right? Then, I became friends with <a href="http://www.thepowerofintroverts.com/">Susan Cain</a> (best known for her groundbreaking work on introversion, <a href="http://www.thepowerofintroverts.com/">Quiet</a>). Susan has written about this, exact, topic. We've spoken about it. People need closed spaces. People don't like the feeling of everyone being able to see them, hear them, etc... So, is the open concept good or bad for business?"</em> (Mitch for Alistair).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/willie-nelson-rs-films-mastering-the-craft-trigger-20150211"><strong>Watch Willie Nelson Tell the Story of His Legendary Guitar, Trigger - Rolling Stone</strong></a>. <em>"I am breaking a personal rule this week. I save a lot of content and - for the most part - I usually get a sense for when a story is so juicy that I want to save it during the week, and share it here. In all of the years, I have never tweeted out or shared a link earlier in the week that I wanted to feature here. Well, this is my first. I was so taken by this piece (and the video that came with it), that I am - for the first time - sharing something here that I have already shared out on my social feeds. Don't hate me. It's worth it. So, if I didn't have this whole preamble to write about, I would have probably just said this about the link above: sometimes, the instrument chooses you..."</em> (Mitch for Hugh).</li>

<p>All of time, right? It can be a simple calendar reminder or someone who is constantly over your shoulder. Deadlines and more have pushed human beings to be busier than ever at the work that they do. What do you do (at home... and at work) to align yourself? Don't worry, this ain't some New Age-y rant. It's serious stuff. We're seeing the concepts of meditation and mindfulness enter the workplace at a frenetic pace. Yes, with all of this speed, many people are proactively slowing themselves (and their brains) down. Guess what? The results are staggering. Don't believe me?</p>

<p>I once, jokingly, referred to myself as a <em>"Media Hacker"</em>. The title stuck. In fact, I like it more than <em>"President"</em> or any of the other formal titles that I have been fortunate to hold in my career. I think a lot about marketing, mostly because I have a passion for media. My professional career started as a journalist, I went on to become a magazine publisher. As we struggled to get enough ads to validate the next issue of our magazine, I watched the first Web Browser come online, and that's when everything changed for me. In the best way possible. Back when dial tones and <a href="http://www.aol.com" title="AOL">AOL</a> CDs were still the cornerstone of the Internet, I was <em>"out there"</em> screaming that the Internet would change everything that we knew about media. Over the years, my main focus became <em>"Digital Marketing,"</em> but a lot of my thinking comes from how the media landscape evolves. It's hard to figure out how to make a brand resonate, if you don't fully understand the media and how messages really get across to audiences. This is - probably - why so many people see me as someone more interested in social media and content marketing than the other stuff. Oh, how wrong they are.</p>
<p><strong>Strong influences.</strong></p>
<p>That journalism bug is a hard one to beat. My <a href="http:www.twitter.com/mitchjoel" title="Twitter">Twitter</a> feed is full of individuals who talk about journalism, media and the future of technology. I often cite these people, publicly. With that, there are strong influences that are directly reflected in the fact that I tend to write long blog posts (sorry about that, if you're more interested in a <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com" title="Buzzfeed">Buzzfeed</a> experience). I don't try to <em>"game"</em> the system by stuffing in keywords for SEO performance, I don't do any dramatic types of headlines to grab your attention, I don't review analytics and create content based on the most popular posts, and I'm not all that interested in pimping this content throughout social media channels to drive traffic (trust me, I do it more because I feel like <em>have to</em> than I <em>want to</em>). To put it in a simpler way: I try to write every piece like it's an article. When I think about who writes articles that really makes the hair (if I had any) on the back of my neck stand up (and, the type of writing that makes me want to stop writing, because they do it so much better), I think of people like <a href="https://twitter.com/bobosphere">Bob Garfield</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/carr2n">David Carr</a>. Carr died last night. Suddenly. He was only 58 years old. It sucks.</p>
<p><strong>Not because he's dead...</strong></p>
<p>I would read Carr's column in <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> with mixed emotions. I would marvel at how he would take disparate stories and weave them into a new way to think about media. With that, his content always... always!... had an edge. He didn't care. He would make the words push his thinking in a way that would make other media writers jealous. That was the way in which I would consume <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/column/the-media-equation" title="The Media Equation">The Media Equation</a>. There are just a few writers who get me going like this. David Carr was one of the best. News with an edge, a perspective and written in a unique voice that gets under your skin. Anybody who dares to write (and allow it to be published) should be that good.</p>
<p><strong>Not an obituary.</strong></p>
<p>So many others are writing weighty and thoughtful pieces right now about the life of Carr. I didn't know him. I never met him. He was on my bucketlist to be a guest on the <a href="http://www.twistimage.com/podcast">podcast</a>. I just loved the powerful voice that he brought to the media landscape. I'm not sure how much of a marketing nerd I would be, without his words. I'm not even sure that I would have ever thought of the term <em>"Media Hacker"</em> were it not for his thinking. If I were ever stuck for something to write about, one trip to The Media Equation would cure all. It was a library of ideas and inspiration waiting to be unpacked and dissected. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/13/business/media/david-carr-media-equation-columnist-for-the-times-is-dead-at-58.html?_r=0">David Carr</a> was much more of a Media Hacker than I will ever be. I'm going to miss his words. Deeply. We should all hope to bring such an energy and uniqueness to the work that we do.</p>
<p><strong>Watch him go...</strong></p>

<p>It happens all of the time. A new technology comes out and makes something so commonplace to our daily lives so completely antiquated. Back in 2007 (yes, close to eight years ago), I came out and <a href="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/voice-mail-bankruptcy---the-gauntlet-has-been-thrown/">publicly declared voicemail bankruptcy</a>. People thought I was crazy. It was a lifestyle choice driven by my personal attempts to be more productive, and trying to evade the situation of disappointing others or losing potential business leads because of my lack of response to these messages. I was finding myself on the road - more and more - with a non-desire to run through the gauntlet of phone choices and codes to access voicemail when out of the office (a new level of laziness, I would agree). Sending me an email, a text message... or even calling me on my mobile seemed a million times more efficient... and obvious, then hoping I remember to check a messaging system that sits tethered to a physical phone in one of the many places that I do business. On top of that, my business line had decomposed into a crypt of poorly scripted telemarketing calls, attempting to pitch me on a myriad of services that - had the sales rep spent two seconds looking on our website to understand us - were completely useless. On top of that, when these messages were not returned, the bombardment would continue with a vengeance. Even when I was in the office, I was leery to answer my business line for fear of being stuck on a twenty-minute call for some kind of enterprise solution that both wasn't needed, and one that I was not the decision maker on.</p>
<p><strong>Am I alone?</strong></p>
<p>When I made this decision, I re-recorded my outgoing message to let people know that this line would not be responded to in due process, and if anyone wanted to reach me that they could easily email me, or - if they knew me well enough - that they could reach me on my mobile. I think it worked. I don't know. Many people could rightfully argue that this approach might turn some of the more traditional business people off, and that it may even affect people trying to do business with <a href="http://www.mirumagency.com" title="Mirum">Mirum</a>, if they feel like I am not accessible. This baffled me. I was - in earnest - trying to make myself MORE accessible. MORE readily available. MORE speed in response. Business proper dogma won again. Still, I stuck to it and have not backed down. Since then, there are so many new ways to connect and find me instantly. There is messaging built into <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mitchjoel" title="Facebook">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/mitchjoel" title="Twitter">Twitter</a> and tons of other ways to tag me.</p>
<p><strong>We live in real-time.</strong></p>
<p>That's what it felt like then. It feels like that even more today. <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com" title="Bloomberg Business">Bloomberg Business</a> recently published an article titled, <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-12-22/coca-cola-disconnects-voice-mail-at-headquarters">Coca-Cola Disconnects Voice Mail at Headquarters</a>. Some thought that this was an attempt to save money. It was not. From the article: <em>"Office voice mail at the world's largest soft-drink maker was shut down 'to simplify the way we work and increase productivity,' according to an internal memo from Chief Information Officer <a href="http://www.coca-colacompany.com/our-company/senior-functional-leadership-ed-steinike">Ed Steinike</a>. The change went into effect this month, and a standard outgoing message now throws up an electronic stiff arm, telling callers to try later or use 'an alternative method' to contact the person."</em></p>
<p><strong>Moving Forward</strong></p>
<p>I never liked the usability or functionality of voicemail once email, texts messaging and other social-based messaging applications entered the fold. Voicemail felt... distant. This thing that we had to reach out to, instead of it being as readily available as, say, voicemail is on your smartphone. Some might dive deeper and think that this also speaks to our current shift in how we communicate (which, by the way, is shifting us away from talking to one another, because of how popular texting has become). Regardless, it's an important moment in time for marketers to pay attention to. Voicemail going away (which I believe it is for non-mobile devices) illustrates the importance of paying attention to technological trends and what they mean. <a href="http://www.snapchat.com" title="Snapchat">Snapchat</a> isn't just about teens sending one another pictures that disappear. It's about our societies desire to send one another content (and communications) that don't then sit in some kind of permanent data legacy). With that, big changes continue to be afoot. I say good riddance to voicemail on office phones... and bring on more Snapchat-like functionality!</p>
<p><strong>How about you?</strong> </p>

It's not a long segment - about 5 to 10 minutes every week - about everything that is happening in the world of technology and digital media. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/chom977">SoundCloud</a>, if you're interested in hearing more of me blathering away. I'm really excited about this opportunity, because this is the radio station that I grew up on listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the <a href="http://www.chom.com/MorningsRock.aspx">Mornings Rock with Terry and Heather B.</a> morning show. The segment is called, <a href="http://www.chom.com/control-alt-delete/2013/09/09/mitch-joel-september-9">CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel</a>.</p>
<p><strong>This week we discussed:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Everyone is sick this time of year. (including Heather B., who was not in the studio this am). I'm on the tail-end of a cold... and so is everyone else in my family. Have you ever had to take a young child's temperature? It's impossible. They don't want to hold that thing under their tongue, and the other entry-point is no fun. That, and, I have no idea how to tell what is fever and what is not. Like everything else in this world, we now have the Internet to take care of it! <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/531680546/wishbone-the-worlds-smallest-smart-thermometer">Wishbone</a> is a current <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com">Kickstarter</a> project that surpassed its original $20,000 funding goal, and is nearing $100k in backing with 17 days to go. The small device is called Wishbone because of its Y-shape. You simply pop it into your iPhone or Android headphone jack, point it at your child's head, and the infrared temperature sensor is capable of reading the temperature accurately. What makes this greater than great? It can store information by individual/child, track the fever over time and, best of all, the developers are looking to integrate it into <a href="https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/health/">Apple's HealthKit</a> platform in the future. </li>
<li>While we're on the subject of getting ripped off, have you ever downloaded an app simply because it was extremely popular, as it sits at the top of the charts and you suffer from FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)? Of course you have. I have too. You are not alone. Well, how would you feel if some developer paid to have that app at the top of the charts? It's happening. <a href="http://www.cultofmac.com/311171/crazy-iphone-rig-shows-chinese-workers-manipulate-app-store-rankings/">App manipulation farms</a> are places where low-waged workers (like China) sit in front of - what looks like - a wall of iPhones, downloading, installing, rating and then deleting apps for money. Apparently, any app can get to the top of that charts for about $12,000.</li>
<li>We are coming off of the <a href="http://www.grammy.com/">Grammy Awards</a> and everyone has music on the brain. So, let's see what's new in technology and music: Less than one percent of people under thirty in Norway said that illegal file-sharing was their main source of obtaining music. In 2009, seventy percent of the population under thirty were illegally downloading music. What's the secret? You guessed it: streaming (and, yes, <a href="http://www.spotify.com/">Spotify</a> is from nearby Sweden). Is that good for artists? Well, consider this: a song streamed about one million times will get an artist about one hundred dollars (heard this from a friend who's son is in the band, <a href="http://www.royalbangs.com/">Royal Bangs</a>). So, who is stealing from the artist now? Turns out that the labels are demanding a whole lot of loot from the streaming services for access to the music, but that money isn't trickling down to the artists. <a href="http://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/piracy-virtually-eliminated-norway">Plus ca change</a>.</li>
<li>App of the week: The new <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/best-email-app-goes-to-microsoft-outlook-2015-2">Microsoft Outlook app</a>... possibly the best email app for iOS (and I have tried them all).</li>

<p><strong>Check out these six links that we're recommending to one another:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://jezebel.com/how-i-lost-my-invisible-boyfriend-in-6-days-1681179926"><strong>How I Lost My 'Invisible Boyfriend' In 6 Days - Jezebel</strong></a>. <em>"We live in interesting times, when there's an app to make your friends think you're dating.

"<em>Recent advances in neuroscience along with experimental behavioural psychology are constantly adding to our understanding of why people are the way they are. This is a fascinating study showing differences in how bilingual and unilingual kids view the world: unilingual kids tend to think that people have fixed 'essential' qualities; bilingual kids tend to expect that people learn their behaviours." </em>(Hugh for Mitch).</li>
<li><a href="http://gizmodo.com/the-creepiest-things-you-can-do-on-facebook-1683434172"><strong>The Creepiest Things You Can Do on Facebook - Gizmodo</strong></a>. <em>"Do people realize that when they 'like' a photo on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mitchjoel">Facebook</a>, that the person who posted it is usually notified? I've been notified - on many occasions - that someone from my past has 'liked' or left a comment on a photo that is really, really old. So, yeah, that kind of creeps me out that they're creeping. Maybe, they're just doing something really funny when they do it? Doubtful. Still, here are a bunch of ways to make Facebook funnier... and much more awkward."</em> (Mitch for Alistair).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/piracy-virtually-eliminated-norway/"><strong>Music Piracy Has Been 'Virtually Eliminated' In Norway - Music Business Worldwide</strong></a>. <em>"Less than one percent of people under thirty said that illegal file-sharing was their main source of obtaining music.

<p>I have been following <a href="http://www.scottbelsky.com">Scott Belsky</a> for a long time. His company, <a href="http://www.behance.com/">Behance</a>, is a platform for creatives to showcase their work (think of it as <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/">LinkedIn</a> for the creative community). With that, Behance got acquired by <a href="http://www.adobe.com/">Adobe</a> in 2012, where Scott acts as Adobe's Vice President of Products - Community. There's also <a href="http://99u.com/">99U</a>, which is a think tank, publisher and annual conference devoted to getting stuff done. He wrote the book, <a href="http://99u.com/book/making-ideas-happen-2">Making Ideas Happen</a>, and 99U published three amazing books titled, <a href="http://99u.com/book/manage-your-day-to-day-2">Manage Your Day-To-Day</a>, <a href="http://99u.com/book/maximize-your-potential">Maximize Your Potential</a> and <a href="http://99u.com/book/making-an-impact">Make Your Mark</a> (which just came out). Recently, Scott gave a talk on how creatives work in modern times for the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxH90ZfkG-o3u2YB3-dRmRg">TNW</a>, and it's a short, <a href="https://www.ted.com">TED</a>-like, eighteen minutes that should make you think differently about how you can run your day and get the work done.</p>

Hello, <a href="http://www.mirumagency.com" title="Mirum">Mirum</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Back in 2002, when I joined <a href="http://www.twistimage.com" title="Twist Image">Twist Image</a>, I had no expectations... I had big expectations. It was a dream. It was a dream to think that this small group of people could really do something in the marketing industry. It was also a dream, because I made a very personal decision to work for myself (again...). That feeling of boundless opportunity is both exciting and the stuff of things that keep you up at night. In a sense, there is nothing to lose, because the business is so new (and mostly in debt). In another sense, there is nothing to lose, because the opportunity to move the needle - ever so slightly - feels so present. What we accomplished in the following decade-plus has been a wondrous journey. A lot of it has been documented, here on this blog. </p>
<p><strong>Content at the core.</strong></p>
<p>As someone who has both published magazines and worked as a freelance journalist, there was something (deep inside of me) that wanted to use technology to share both the process of what we were going through as a business and how we - as an agency - felt about technology, brands and building a semblance of community. Having this out there - for all to see - was something new in 2003 (which is when this blog was started). Agencies did not share their thinking or their process. It was liberating. It was fun. It sparked our little agency into the limelight. It proved that social media can be used as an inbound marketing channel (long before those words were cool), and it proved that content marketing is a powerful way to gain attention and business (long before content marketing was a thing, as well). I'm not proud of the fact that we were early in the blogging and podcasting game. I am extremely proud that what we created found an audience and a group of people who cared, and continue to care over many years. Every day, I see countless articles in the media questioning the efficacy of blogging, podcasting, social media and content marketing for business. I fashion myself as a humble and quiet individual, but these articles make me want to scream, <em>"look at us!!!"</em> It works! But, it doesn't happen overnight. It takes time, patience, resilience, persistence, consistency, experimentation, distribution channels and more. But, it does work.</p>
<p><strong>Walking into work today was different.</strong></p>
<p>While we announced that <a href="http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/exciting-news-about-twist-image-and-the-future/">Twist Image was acquired by WPP</a> back in May 2014, the journey to changing our name to <a href="http://www.mirumagency.com" title="Mirum">Mirum</a> and becoming founding partners of a new global digital marketing agency is - obviously - bittersweet. Going into the office and forcing myself to remember that it's now <em>"Mirum"</em>... and not <em>"Twist Image"</em> was hard. Old habits die hard. With that, Twist Image needed to become Mirum. Mirum is the future. Mirum is a place where brands can go for true transformation. It's the place where ideas can meet with new kinds of products and services. It's a place where technology and data can help meld into the future... a future that seems to be coming at us much faster than ever before. So, today we celebrated. We celebrated fourteen years of independence. We celebrated the right choice is agreeing to be acquired by <a href="http://wpp.com/" title="WPP">WPP</a>. We celebrated joining the <a href="https://www.jwt.com/worldwide" title="J Walter Thompson">J. Walter Thompson Company</a> as a founding partner of a new global company. We celebrated new partners and friends from all over the world, as we move from two offices and one hundred people into 2200 people over forty offices. </p>
<p><strong>But, what about me?</strong></p>
<p>Over the years, I've tried to keep me out of it. To not get too personal. To keep the content focused on you. Thinking that might help you find a solution to a business challenge. But, I hope you will indulge me. For me, the real magic comes from the relationship that I have with my three business partners: Mark Goodman, Mickael Kanfi and Aubrey Rosenhek. Not a day goes by that I don't marvel at how we met one another (a strange and lucky chance in life), and how we built this business by allowing one another to focus on our individual unique abilities. I jokingly tell people that we have the best business relationship, because I don't like the jobs that they do... and they feel the same about what I do. We're much more than complimentary to one another. We're much more than a team. We're a band... a band that works. Finding one good partner in this world is a miracle. I found three. That's magic. There's no other word for it. Over the years, our working relationship has never wavered. We had each other's back and we strive towards the same lighthouse among the fog that is this ever-changing industry. With that, we've been surrounded by an incredible team of people that are passionate about digital marketing. From our management team over to the people who have to push the pixels. I get a lot of the accolades, but those are misplaced. It's everyone on our team that really makes the work happen. So, it may surprise you to hear that I am not sad to be saying goodbye to Twist Image. It feels like Twist Image needed to do what most companies need to do when they turn fifteen years old... it needs to think about the next phase of its life. Mirum is that phase. Don't get me wrong, this isn't all celebratory. I'm nervous. I'm scared. To a certain degree, we are starting over. The bar is set high. The expectations for success are high. It is in these moments of being challenged, uncertainty and opportunity that we discover who we really are. I'm looking forward to that experience... more than most people know. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos" title="Jeff Bezos">Jeff Bezos</a> is often asked about where <a href="http://www.amazon.com" title="Amazon">Amazon</a> is at, in terms of growth and potential. He likes to say that it is <em>"Day One."</em> I love that. I'm inspired by that. For Mirum, it is day one... both literally and figuratively.</p>
<p><strong>Here's to day one! <a href="http://makemirum.com/">#MakeMirum</a>.</strong> </p>

<p>It took me many years of playing the electric bass before I discovered who <a href="http://www.jerryjemmott.com/" title="Jerry Jemmott">Jerry Jemmott</a> was... and how important he was to the evolution of the bass and how players approach their instrument. My introduction came around 1987, one year after an instructional electric bass video called, <a href="http://youtu.be/vrO7DZSYinQ" title="Modern Electric Bass">Modern Electric Bass</a>, came out. This video features an in-depth conversation and bass lesson with <a href="http://jacopastorius.com/" title="Jaco">Jaco Pastorious</a>. Pastorious is widely regarded as one of the best players who has ever lived (think of him as the bass players version of <a href="http://www.jimihendrix.com/us/home" title="Jimi Hendrix">Jimi Hendrix</a>. He died at the age of 35, but his impact on the instrument is still heard, to this day. In this video, Jerry Jemmott acts as the interviewer, as he prods Pastorious to explain how he developed such a unique playing style. There is a memorable scene when Jemmott asks Jaco who really influenced the development of his playing style. Without missing a beat, Pastorius starts riffing on some of Jemmott's classic funk bass lines. He talks about how he would listen to the radio, and try to emulate the sounds coming from those <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Records" title="Atlantic Records">Atlantic Records</a> grooves when he was a kid. He didn't even know that many of those different songs featured Jemmott's playing until years later.</p>
<p><strong>When you're the influence for one of the influencers.</strong></p>
<p>Being known as one of Jaco's main influences is almost as impressive as Jemmott's discography. The two-time Grammy Award winning bassist was one of the few who could cross genres and play with soul, blues and jazz artists. <a href="http://www.bbking.com/" title="B.B. King">B.B. King</a>, <a href="http://chuckberry.com/" title="Chuck Berry">Chuck Berry</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aretha_Franklin" title="Aretha Franklin">Aretha Franklin</a>, <a href="http://www.raycharles.com/" title="Ray Charles">Ray Charles</a>, and we're not even beginning to scratch the surface on who Jemmott has played with. It's quite possible that if you're listening to radio (terrestrial or satellite) at some point during the day, you will come across a song that he has played on. Not one to sit in the studio playing on other people's creations, Jemmott also built a substantive career as a solo artists back in 1978, along with becoming involved in film and theater as an arranger and conductor. That work led him to work with <a href="http://www.bso.org/" title="Boston Pops">The Boston Pops</a>, <a href="http://bettemidler.com/" title="Bette Midler">Bette Midler</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Williams" title="John Williams">John Williams</a>.</p>
<p><strong>But, there's something more...</strong></p>
<p>In this video, Jaco and Jerry talk a lot about the idea of endurance. Their perspective reminded me (very much) of the whole <a href="http://gladwell.com/" title="Malcolm Gladwell">Malcolm Gladwell</a> <a href="http://www.salon.com/2014/07/15/is_malcolm_gladwell_wrong_scientists_debate_the_10000_hour_rule/">10,000 debate</a>. Endurance is a huge factor in making anything really happen. If you don't have endurance in your industry/field, you're never going to make it... even if you are talented. This past week, <a href="http://www.notreble.com" title="No Treble">No Treble</a> published the second podcast of <a href="http://www.notreble.com/podcast/" title="No Treble Podcast">Groove - The No Treble Podcast</a>. It's a podcast that I am hosting as a personal hobby/side project. And, in this episode, <a href="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/02/05/groove-episode-2-jerry-jemmott/" title="Jerry Jemmott">I spend nearly an hour with Jerry</a>, talking about what he's working on next, how he got connected to the <a href="http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/jacothefilm" title="Jaco Documentary">Jaco documentary</a>, how he thinks about the bass as an instrument of creativity and invention and this idea of endurance. Enjoy the conversation...</p>

It's not a long segment - about 5 to 10 minutes every week - about everything that is happening in the world of technology and digital media. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/chom977">SoundCloud</a>, if you're interested in hearing more of me blathering away. I'm really excited about this opportunity, because this is the radio station that I grew up on listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the <a href="http://www.chom.com/MorningsRock.aspx">Mornings Rock with Terry and Heather B.</a> morning show. The segment is called, <a href="http://www.chom.com/control-alt-delete/2013/09/09/mitch-joel-september-9">CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel</a>.</p>
<p><strong>This week we discussed:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We let the world know that <a href="http://www.marketingmag.ca/advertising/twist-image-rebrands-as-mirum-for-wpps-new-digital-network-136388">Twist Image is changing its name to Mirum</a>. Mirum is Latin for <em>"wonder"</em> and <em>"amazement."</em> With that, we are one of the founding companies of this global digital marketing agency, that brings together eleven agencies like us from with the <a href="https://www.jwt.com/en/worldwide/news/introducingmirum/">J. Walter Thompson</a> agency (owned by <a href="https://www.wpp.com">WPP</a>). This makes us over 2000 employees in close to twenty countries. It will be fun to work on Canadian, North American and Global pieces of brand business.</li>
<li>Everyone has the <a href="http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/49">Super Bowl</a> on their brain. In my world, it's less about which teams made it to finals, and much more about the ads. Which companies spent the millions of dollars on a thirty second spot and... Did anyone care? Plus, the advertisers now benchmarks the success of these ads by watching the <a href="http://www.youtube.com">YouTube</a> views, the tweets on <a href="https://twitter.com/mitchjoel">Twitter</a> and the shares and likes on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mitchjoel">Facebook</a> over the next few weeks, as the water cooler effect takes hold. Plus, we're in Canada, so most of those great US <a href="http://mashable.com/2015/02/01/super-bowl-2015-commercials/?utm_cid=hp-hh-sec">ads can only be viewed online</a>. </li>
<li>Well, it sounded like a good idea at the time. <a href="https://www.snapchat.com/">Snapchat</a> decided to launch their own series. A short video that lasts 24 hours and then it disappears... Until the next episode shows up next week. Their first foray was something called, <a href="http://mashable.com/2015/01/31/snapchat-literally-cant-even-episode-one/">Literally Can't Even</a>, and starred <a href="https://twitter.com/sashaspielberg">Sasha Spielberg</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/emilygoldwyn">Emily Goldwyn</a>. Do those last names ring a bell? They're the daughters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Spielberg">Steven Spielberg</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Goldwyn">John Goldwyn</a>. The show debuted on Saturday and was gone by Sunday. <a href="http://mashable.com/2015/01/31/snapchat-literally-cant-even-episode-one/">According to the tweets</a>, this format may need some work, but this could be an interesting medium for people to tinker with.</li>
<li>App of the week: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-ios-productivity-apps-on-sale-this-week-2015-1?op=1">Apple has heavily discounted some amazing productivity apps</a>.</li>

<p><a href="http://saul.is/">Saul Colt</a> fancies himself as one of the leading word of mouth marketing professionals in the world. At the core of his work, is helping brands find, develop and nurture real brand evangelists. This isn't about making people smile, so that they talk about you on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mitchjoel">Facebook</a>, it's about finding the right customer for a brand and ensuring that their experience lasts as long as possible. While Saul's work can sometimes be simplistically defined as a stunt, Saul looks at it from a different perspective. From <a href="http://www.freshbooks.com/">Freshbooks</a> to <a href="http://www.zipcar.com/">Zipcar</a>... to his current role as Chief Evangelist at <a href="https://www.xero.com/us/">Xero</a>, Saul is always thinking of ways to get consumers to care about the brands that they use. This is how he does it. Enjoy the conversation... </p>

<p><strong>Check out these six links that we're recommending to one another:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="https://vimeo.com/52744406">Rabbit And Deer</a><strong>. <em>"</em></strong><em>This is an amazing, flawlessly executed, and extremely moving animation by <a href="http://www.petervacz.com/">Péter Vácz</a>. It's a love story, and an exploration of other dimensions."</em> (Alistair for Hugh).</li>

<li><a href="http://femfreq.tumblr.com/post/109319269825/one-week-of-harassment-on-twitter"><strong>One Week of Harassment on Twitter - Feminist Frequency</strong></a>. <em>"There has been a lot of talk of rape culture in the last couple of years in particular, with a host of horrible examples to choose from. There are some who seem to deny that this is a problem, but when you see, for example, the interactions with the <a href="https://twitter.com/femfreq">@femfreq</a> Twitter account, I hope it makes you pause. I wonder, do (heterosexual, white) men ever get this level of sustained, violent hatred directed at them from random strangers? I read one article about a woman who started investigating who was sending these kinds of messages; she soon found that many of them were teen boys. She contacted their mothers. Love that. But... what is going on with how we raise teen boys?"</em> (Hugh for Alistair). </li>
<li><a href="http://www.elephantjournal.com/2014/12/oof-heavy-but-brave-response-adult/"><strong>Oof. Heavy. But Brave Response.

Anyone who does so, and any website which hosts such pictures, will be subject to [X punishment].' A Danish women had such photos stolen, and posted all over the place - along with her name, the name of her parents, employers. And, years later, she still gets harassing emails. Here's what she did about it."</em> (Hugh for Mitch).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/26/technology/why-apps-for-messaging-are-trending.html?_r=0"><strong>Why Apps for Messaging Are Trending - The New York Times</strong></a>. <em>"It's something to think about. Everyone is still excited about social media, sharing and how technology allows connections. With that, the trend is moving back towards more one-to-one communications. Private stuff. Semi-private stuff. Maybe, in the end, we don't want to share that much publicly. Maybe, in the end, we just want a better way to share with the people who really matter to us, or the ones who share our similar interests. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mitchjoel">Facebook</a> groups are the one thing that makes Facebook that much more interesting. A better way to message and share with people? Sign me up!" </em>(Mitch for Alistair).</li>

Well, here I am. Been digging deep into the many hours of stand-up that Louis has done. With that, I have a side - personal - interest in the mechanics of stand-up comedy. I love documentaries about comedians (in fact, I think <a href="http://jerryseinfeld.com/">Jerry Seinfeld</a>'s documentary, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedian_%28film%29">Comedian</a>, is one of my favorite movies). I feel a kinship to that art form, when I look at public speaking and writing content. That solitary slogging through the work, to then 'put it out there' and see if anyone cares... it's a different kind of grind. This is a great piece about someone who is truly making an impact in a very tough and finicky business."</em> (Mitch for Hugh).</li>
